Birth Preparation

For couples who aren't sure about having a doula present at the birth, but would like doula support prenatally to prepare for the birth they want. One to two prenatal visits in your home ideally before your 38th week. Prenatal visits may include: educational handouts, reviewing the process of labor and birth, discussing techniques for optimal fetal positioning, and preparing for the birth you want. We will go over comfort measures, ways to bring partners closer together and skills to help you prepare.

If an induction date is growing close you can also choose to have an additional meeting or a specific one to discuss natural induction methods. I can tell you about some natural ways to try to encourage labor, show you acupressure techniques you can do at home and give you referrals for acupuncture etc. if needed.
